Fashion Weekly Podcast With Miranda Holder – Details, episodes & analysis

In this week's episode, which also happens to be the final episode of Season 1, while we all take a little seasonal break - I chat to Jeans Queen Donna Ida, founder of the eponymous luxury denim brand who is credited for making many famous backsides look even perkier and is absolutely a style icon in her own right.

We discuss how in Donna’s opinion the skinny jean will always be in style.

Donna shares her top tips for buying, styling and caring for denim and explains what makes Donna Ida jeans so special, and why buying one pair of her jeans is a far more sustainable choice than purchasing from the high street.

We talk about the comparison trap, how to survive on social media, how to love the body you have, Donna’s covetable wardrobe favourites and her ingenious packing tips.

Finally, you cannot miss Donna’s brilliant suggestion for using the loo in a jumpsuit - if you know, you know!!!  You can follow Donna on Instagram @donnaida

Thanks so much to you all for listening, it really has been a wonderful first season, I am so grateful to each and every one of you for your support and I can’t wait to see you all again for Season 2 in the new year!

As always, if you love the pod please leave me a little 5-star review, and a shout out on socials would be so appreciated.

Today, by popular demand  I’m welcoming back the one and only Tim Whild, who is becoming the resident ascension expert on the podcast!

We continue our fascinating conversation as Tim explains his own path to spirituality, and we chat further about just what on earth is going on in the world at the moment.

We discuss:

How he met and started working with the wonderful Diana Cooper.

The great cosmic moment in 2021, and how it was predicted by ancient civilisations.

The process of going from 3d to 5d, the obstacles along the way, what an ego-driven society looks like and his vision of the world when we complete this process in 10 years time.

The process of waking up and remembering who you are and how personal and spiritual growth is nearly always very uncomfortable.

….and so much more! So grab a cuppa or something stronger, sit back, and settle down to enjoy the next instalment of this series.

This week I’m joined by DJ Fat Tony who shares his incredible story with us, joined by his beloved dog Taylor who also joins in with the conversation occasionally!

Starting his career 3 decades ago at an age too young to mention, Fat Tony has had his say in paving the way for the UK’s current music scene. 

He has played at the best venues around the world and is a regular performer at the most glamorous fashion events. Tony is the official DJ for the Beckhams and Versace and in 2020 released a documentary with Mixmag seen by over 6 million people, he also has a hilarious unfiltered ‘curated memes’ Instagram account which makes me laugh every day.

One of the most wonderful things about Tony is his brutal honesty about his many years of drug addiction and his poignant journey to recovery which he shares openly and discusses in this episode.  This quite simply makes Tony one of the bravest and most inspiring people I know.

His book ‘I don’t take requests’ which documents his incredible story will be out next May.

We chat about his regular dinners at Elton John’s house and his impressive napkin collection, a typical day in the life of a world-leading DJ, and how to set the crowd on fire with a great DJ set.

Tony talks frankly about his lowest moments as a drug addict, what inspired him to get clean and how he has helped many others along the way including his good friend Boy George.

Finally, we have a great conversation about what fashion means to Tony, his style uniform, his trainer collection and some of the favourite pieces in his wardrobe.

This week, I chat to Celebrity charity campaigner and showbiz legend Nick Ede, who has been popping up on our tellies for the last 15 years, appearing on shows such as Project Catwalk as Head judge alongside Kelly Osbourne and Ben de Lisi, and winning Celebrity Ready Steady Cook against Sinita!

Nick is also an award-winning philanthropist and passionate charity campaigner. He is known for putting the ‘fun’ back into fund-raising by organising high-profile star-studded events such as ‘A night with Nick’, ‘The Fall Ball’ and The Global Gift Galas across the world.

We discuss the glittering world of showbiz and Nick’s extraordinary career as well as the pitfalls of imposter syndrome and mental health which Nick openly suffers from, how discovering he was adopted in later life has affected Nick’s mental health, why the Stroke Association will always be a charity very close to Nick’s heart and all of Nick’s fashion favourites, including a few mistakes he has made along the way!

By popular request, here is an episode all about crystals. I chat to the beautiful soul that is Estelle Bingham, psychic, author and critically acclaimed holistic healer who lifts the lid on everything to do with crystals.

In this episode, I chat to the wonderful Tim Whild, ascension, crystal and Lightbody expert, and co-author of two best-selling books The Archangel Guide to Ascension and The Archangel Guide to Enlightenment with the UK’s Angel lady Diana Cooper. 

Tim explains from a spiritual perspective, what he believes to be going on in the world at the moment and how the recent turbulent times are all part of a bigger plan.

We chat about angels, karma, reincarnation, 3D, 5D, frequency, extra-terrestrial life and how the universe works.

This week I am joined by Florist to the stars and tireless animal advocate Nikki Tibbles who is also accompanied by her 4 rescue dogs.

We chat about Nikki’s recent triumph at the Hampton Court flower show - The Rose Tea Garden - and Nikki tells us about her amazing charity - The Wild at Heart Foundation - and its wonderful animal rescue work.

Nikki and I first met when I was working with Dash dogs in Greece, which is an animal charity that I support with my family when we discovered the true horrors of the stray dog situation whilst on holiday out there, and we discuss the many challenges faced by the 600 million strong stray dog population around the world and the many ways in which we can help.

We finish of course, by discussing Nikki’s fashion favourites. 

This episode has been brought forwards in light of the recent devastating fires in Greece, and the thousands of animals, in particular the thousands of Greek ‘Barrel Dogs’ who perished needlessly in the flames.  DASH is caring for many injured and traumatised animals and survives on donations alone. Please support them if you can.

Nikki’s Instagram handles are: @nikkitibbleswildatheart and @wild_at_heart_foundation

DASH is @dashdogrescue or www.dash-dogs.com

We also discuss @mariatash and @lyrebird.atelier

If you’re a movie fan I’ve got a total treat in store for you, as I chat to the one and only Ross King, friend of the stars and Hollywood correspondent for Lorraine and Good Morning Britain.

Ross tells all about working and living in Hollywood and how he keeps his feet on the ground, how he has interviewed every celebrity out there from Barbara Streisand to Benedict Cumberbatch, and how he gets them to open up to him.

Ross regales us with fascinating stories about so many big names including Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, Gerard Butler, Gary Oldman, Gary Barlow… and so many more.

We get a real insight into behind the scenes at the Oscars and the famous Vanity Fair Party, the best Hollywood fashion and Ross’s incredible career which started on stage age 5, and led to amongst other things dancing with Diana Ross, starring in The Rocky Horror Show, touring the globe on cruise ships and acting in a host of movies and TV shows!

We finish of course with Ross’s fashion faves, why he shares a tailor with none other than Cary Grant and the indispensable style advice he was given by Ashton Kutcher.
